1991 BMW M5 Maintenance Schedule

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for the 1991 BMW M5?

Here’s Why 1991 BMW M5 Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your BMW M5, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your M5 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. Not an expert in what services your car needs and when? No problem. There's no need to guess when it's time to get M5 maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1991 BMW M5!

BMW knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your M5 running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1991 BMW M5 problems in the future.

Learn About Vital Maintenance Needs for Your BMW M5

Bring your 1991 BMW M5 to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your M5. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1991 BMW M5 be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your M5 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your BMW M5 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your M5 stranded. Your BMW M5 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 1991 BMW M5 engine. See BMW's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1991 M5 in the chart at the top of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1991 BMW M5.

Periodic service to the steering system in your BMW M5 can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. When it comes to steering and suspension, you want to catch small problems before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, provide the appropriate BMW M5 steering and suspension services. This can include things like power steering fluid replacement, wheel alignment adjustments, replacement of struts and wheel bearings, and ball joint lubrication. Components within your BMW M5's steering system require regular maintenance.

If you fall behind on routine BMW M5 maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your BMW M5 engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is your BMW M5 radiator in need of replacement? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We’re on it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 1991 BMW M5 maintenance and repairs.
